Oct 2013- Resident Evil 2 Pregame discussion

[Askthepizzaguy]

Finds rocket launcher under rock, invisibility shield in jacket pocket, and Master Chief armor in a tree.

Good to go!

See, that's what you think.

If you guys start doing really well and thinking you're safe, and not enough people have died to my satisfaction, I'm going to just dump more zombies on you.

I'm not even joking.

If you play Resident Evil 4, for example, the game gets more difficult if you're at full health and high ammo and you haven't died yet.

I'm on board with deliberately upping the challenge if people aren't dying fast enough.

[Askthepizzaguy]

So let's say the survivors have slain 40 zombies with minimal losses, formed an El Gigante hunting party and somehow slain he who exists primarily to prevent you from doing such a thing in the first place, and have made excellent progress getting yourselves "saved" and finding a way out.

At that point, you can consider the game on Professional mode. I'm not going to let people just walk out the front door at that point. Might want to run in the opposite direction of the exit, in fact.

[Zack]

I've read everything, even the old game thread. I haven't planned on getting a life within a couple of years or so so I should be able to be active. Death hasn't stopped me before. I have never had a vacation, etc, etc.

I'm from TWC btw :D

Are you some kind of wizard? IIRC, ATPG did a word count and found that the updates as a whole are as lengthy as a relatively large novel. And that's just the updates.

[Askthepizzaguy]

In the South Park movie, one of the soldiers in Chef's regiment says, just before the battle: "Is some people gonna die?"

I'd like to paraphrase Bob Dylan.



How many zombies must a man mow down
Before you call him a man?
How many survivors must the Plague Queen slay
Before she sleeps with a human?
Yes, 'n how many times must the viral weapons deploy
Before they're forever banned?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind.

Yes, 'n how many years can Leon save the day
Before he's blown to smithereens?
Yes, 'n how many years can Umbrella corp. exist
Before they're kicked out of the B.B.B.?
Yes, 'n how many times can a man turn his head,
Before a zombie smashes it and eats his braaaainnnnss?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind.

Yes, 'n how many health items will I let you get
Before I increase the challenge?
Yes, 'n how many guns will I let you carry,
Before the zombie horde makes you cry?
Yes, 'n how many deaths will it take till I know
That a sufficient number of people have died?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind.

Also, the beer in your fridge tastes awful. Buy imported Belgian stuff. I'm not stalking you for the inferior beer, okay?

Criticised by an American for my taste in beer? The irony. Also, Belgian lager is such a hipster drink.

I do believe Mr Zimmerman could well pass for a zombie these days.

[Zack]

Not all American beer is Budweiser, you know.

[johnhughthom]

I know. I do like Blue Moon, Anchor Steam and Sam Adams.

You still have a lot to answer for with some of that swill you hoist on the world.

[Zain]

I totally understand the mindset, trust me. Carnage seems to be the fuel that keeps these things going.

I take on the challenge.

[Zack]

Well, there are also a lot of microbrews that only locals will know about.

[Askthepizzaguy]

I love that our beer defense at this point is "We've got great beer, it just doesn't sell well enough for you elitist fools to ever get a taste of it! Trust us, it totally exists!"

The American Beer Defense.

Right up there with Chewbacca.

[GeneralHankerchief]

Also, Budweiser's parent brewery is actually Belgian-owned.

[Choxorn]

Play mafia until you drop? You should also set some goals to host 100 games and play in 1000.

Hell, he's probably done that already.

[johnhughthom]

InBev bought AnheuserBusch. You Yanks are 100% responsible for that horror.

[GeneralHankerchief]

InBev bought AnheuserBusch. You Yanks are 100% responsible for that horror.

They've had over 5 years now to alter the formula. Seems like the Belgian-Brazilian overlords are happy enough with "that horror's" status quo.

[Askthepizzaguy]

I don't even drink beer, it all tastes exactly like the orange-tan unflavored Listerine mouthwash to me.

I don't understand how people drink it. I suppose if I drank it often my taste buds would eventually die off and I'd become chemically addicted, but it's like cigarettes. I just can't get past the gag reflex long enough to put it in my mouth.

Don't read too much into that last statement.

Well, that's true of food anywhere, really. Big chains are just not going to be as good.

[CLockwork Jackal]

Well, I for one would look forward to a violent disturbing death! With pics and/or a soundtrack too!

Am I the only one excited by this? Just me? Ok then. :)

[Zack]

You should play Chivalry: Medieval Warfare.

[Makrell]

im #1 hence i am in the lead, even before game start, and im not even an ORGE!

[edse]

I read The Hobbit in six hours.

Edit: that's past tense, I once did.

[Double A]

I keep thinking you're like 15 years old and I don't know why.

I think maybe you were when I first played in a game with you or something, a long time ago. Apparently my brain thinks you are like Maggie Simpson, you never age even as I do.

I have a beard, Pizzaman.

[Zain]

I have a beard, Pizzaman.

I'm a senior in college and still can't accomplish this...

[Double A]

I can regrow my beard in like two months. I've had copious amounts of facial hair for the past 2-3 years.

Crap I turn 20 in January I don't wanna pretend to grow up.

I once had so much beard, it was visible 5 meters away, and im not even 21 yet.

[Askthepizzaguy]

There once was a man who grew such a beard, that he ruled an entire pirate ship without a mutiny.

There were those who called him Zackbeard.

I am not sure which came first, the Zack, or the beard.

I am not sure which one got credit for destroying everything nasty on that ship, including a certain pizzafellow.

I am not sure where one begins and the other ends. My guess is somewhere around the chin region.

I am not sure which one is more legendary.

But there was a Zack, and there was a beard. And together, they were unstoppable.

[Askthepizzaguy]

You could just join the game outright.

Pffft. I took a week off work and came back with a full beard.

edit: Having been clean shaven beforehand, before anyone makes a smart remark.

Did your hair migrate from your scalp to your chin?

[Askthepizzaguy]

Did your hair migrate from your scalp to your chin?

It's far more gruesome than that.

You're a viking, so it doesn't count.
